But seriously, who really knows what it takes to make mozzarella all by yourself? Not many, if any at all -- until now, that is. So with a little help from Keste Pizza & Vino's world-renowned chef and owner, Roberto Caporuscio, who was born and raised on a dairy farm in Italy (where he first developed his culinary skills that include both producing and selling cheese), you can now come and learn how to make fresh mozzarella-- so you can do it from the comfort of your own home afterward!
